Prayer tag

My newest tag I made using an old babyshower card, old posrcard backs and photoshop. how do you all like it?

Bonjour art piece

I finally finished two art pieces this weekend. This first one was done on chipboard with some scrapbook paper I've had for years. The flowers are Recollection by Michaels, the photo is out of my Etsy shop. I like the way this came out, I've noticed I use a lot of vintage colors in my art so pink was a nice change for me.


Lazy dog

I am testing out blogger for android and posting a pic of my lazy dog too


Here is my latest freebie

its a lovely image of a couple and the child must be 1930s or so, its a vintage postcard I scanned. Enjoy!

now posting free imagages for your art

I am going to post some free images to use in your collage art or whatever medium you like. They are vintage images that I have but don't want to put in my Etsy shop so feel free to use them however you like since most of them are out of copyright. If you make something cool I would love to see it and try and share too, it makes a happy world!

New place of interest!

I found a new place to dwell here in cyber space, Pinterest. Its were a bunch of folks online "pin" an image to a board and a lot of people can see it and repin it if they like, Check it out for some great ideas on art, food, photography and so much more. I am addicted to the place!

I made solder glass pendants!




I have wanted to try this for sometime now and I finally got all the supplies needed to start.
Heres how they came out, not to bad for my first try!

Presents- Art journal with foil technique by Lynda

here is a youtube video of my daughter doing an art journal entry with aluminium foil, pretty interesting!

art projects I am working on


here is the latest art project I am working on, its a color photo I took of my granddaughter on my back steps. I changed it into a black and white photo then cranked up the contrast. Next I am going to color it in in some areas with water color or oil and acrylics. I will post the finished project,

Funny I have about 10 projects going right now and it would be nice it I could stop starting new ones and finish some of the ones already started lol!

I am sure I am not the only one who does that!

Video of my Collage Sheets at Etsy

I finally figured out how to make a video for Youtube so I thought I would start wtih something simple like my collage sheets. Next I plan of doing one of my artwork since it is just sitting around not doing anything...

Etsy shop is going digital


I have decided to sell my postcard prints at full size in digital format, The reason for this is simple, people are getting very use to there computers and how to do graphics on them for their art work so waiting for snail mail to arrive with a postcard you want for a project is just wasting time, also its cheaper, do you know that most really good cards go for about 15 to 35 dollars apiece? This way for only 3 dollars people can get the postcard or other images right away, and no longer have to wait 3 to 5 days and if your like me have had items "lost" in transit.
I have so far sold a few digital items and am hoping to do more as it catches on, there are a lot of stunning images out there so I am hoping people like the idea of digital items.
On another note, our county fair is about to arrive and now it the time to enter items. I have decided to enter to pieces, my Gothic Valentine (posted below) and one I just finished called beautiful love.


Wish me luck,
